Discrimination: Crash Course Government and Politics #31
Vložit
- čas přidán 24. 06. 2024
- Today, Craig is going to wrap up our discussion of discrimination by looking more closely at those “discrete and insular minorities” referenced in the 14th Amendment. We’ll talk about instances of discrimination of Asian, European, and Latino immigrants, Native Americans, non-English speakers, people with disabilities, and LGBT people. We’ll also talk about federal and state responses to this discrimination. It’s a lot to cover, and we’ll only scratch the surface of the battles these groups fought (and are still fighting) for equality, but we will give you some historical context for the discrimination that has occurred and the court decisioned made to help defend these groups.

You're on the comment section. scroll back up before shit gets ugly.
thanks for the advice :)
+utubrGaming it already has
some of the stuff on here is actually vile
The flames are tempting...
+Robin Gilliver the anti-troll being ok among a bunch of stupid people, doesnt make you smart
Crash Course needs to do Crash Course Crash Course, where Stan gives crash courses on Crash Course videos.
+Sulthan14 Crashception!
+Sulthan14
Yo dawg, we heard you like crash course, so we put crash course in your crash course so you can learn while you learn.

RUN AWAAAAAYYYYYYYY!
Thank you for making this video! I'm not sure if this fits under this section of crash course, but could you do a video on Native Americans and the discrimination against them by the US? Thanks!
I don't think that there is enough material to make a series out of that.
Seems like it would fit under US History, yeah?
I was going to request the same thing
+SubscribeToSyndicate People assuming this is exactly why a series like that would be particularly useful.
Richard Kulesza You know what, fine. Because it's boring and virtually useless information.
Honestly the comments sections on any video having to do with this kind of subject are so fucking disgusting. Honestly, it makes me really sad how so many people who have privilege lack empathy for others.
***** What arguments? "Illegals deserve nothing, because they broke the law"? Have you thought about *why* they broke the law. Have you ever tried putting yourself in their shoes? Are you over 16 years old, aka have you realized that people do things because life circumstances just demand it, and not because you think "mwahaha! I'm going to live in poor housing conditions with minimal legal rights in America, making pennies, just to steal away everyones jobs!"
Honestly. Unlike the vast majority of youtube commenters, I've studied history, I've studied history, and I care about being a moral person who doesn't wish to die on their death bed knowing they just spent their life hating others instead of helping them.
+Ainsley Jey if you resort to crime you are fucked and I don't care what decisions led to that point.
+Inorganic Vegan thats because of a old system no one bothered fixing.
there are laws on the books that debate back to the creation of this nation and before it. or some so fucking stupid no one bother's with it. its pretty much the same deal, people in power are lazy fucks.
Inorganic Vegan that law has to be made up. seeing the SAT is about 800 and adding 300 would kinda be stupid. i could see 30 but 300, na you just making shit up.
Le Fedora Lord - The law is a thing created by humans. People shouldn't be punished for wanting better lives for themselves just because they broke some construct to get it.
Inorganic Vegan Okay, I'm getting increasingly more and more annoyed at people who say "I'm part of x minority, and I think [insert opinion that says that no discrimination is happening]" It's okay for you to have that opinion, but your minority status is not a credential when 95% of the people in that minority group with you are disagreeing with you and it's obvious your life experiences are unusual.
As for your point about the SAT- what are you even talking about? Blacks don't get 300 extra points. You're literally making that up. Also, Asians don't get -50, seeing as there are plenty of Asian students who get perfect scores.
If you're exaggerating the role of affirmative action and are saying you're against it, let me quote Lyndon B Johnson:
"You do not take a person who, for years, has been hobbled by chains and liberate him, bring him up to the starting line of a race and then say you are free to compete with all the others, and still just believe that you have been completely fair."
Discrimination is like if you had a teacher handing out candy to everyone but you , not because you had a bad grade, no just because you're A GOD DAMN JEW
God does not damn Jews! How dare you!
Lel
+Commander Shepard Something you wanna talk about?
Jk of course
why so many dislikes? keep up the good work, CrashCourse!
love the Thought Bubble and the "temporarily tabled" joke 😊
65 American Neo-Nazis disliked this video. As of 9/20/15 12:02 am
Francisco lol. Omg what is wrong with them
+Jia Yi Lim perhaps some offended that they said in order to be legally discriminated you had to have a numerical minority. which seems odd due to the 14th not saying at has to be a requirement. personally im not quite sure how that is a requirement
+Francisco Which 20th Month of what calendar?
starch what I said. it mostly is people offended for them not pointing out African American history of discrimination
I would so eat at Mongol Pizza
Ah, that was delic-... Oh, you stole my limbs....
+NemRaps | Road to 100k I hear the food there is exceptional!
"The Eagle was temporarily tabled..." ;D
I'm glad these explanations of discrimination are done (mostly) unemotionally.
if someone uses illogical or ad hominem attacks while trying to defend their argument then the opposing side stops listening and merely shouts back their own rhetoric.
These videos are presented really well and attempt to avoid making judgements themselves so I think they get the information across way more successfully than other people who shout and scream
+Jacob Shepley Well, even if this method is 10 times more effective, 0*10 is still zero. Reason and argument are very very overhyped, sadly. On the whol,e aside from the rare exception, humans are not a reasonable and rational species. That's why even well made arguments like this video have very little effect on how people see the world.
+1234kalmar I think you need to think about how the effectiveness is measured. I don't think that Crash Course is trying to push some political agenda despite their affiliation with PBS who're pretty well known to push an extreme left viewpoint.
If information is conveyed then the videos are successful. There's been nothing in any of these videos that would make me change my political stances, but there's lots of information, and it helps to get a better understanding of the political context.
What these guys are doing is great. I know they're politically left leaning, but they're putting a good effort into not letting that get in the way - it'd be a shame to see them take a walk down propaganda lane like a few similar channels have done.
First, being a decent person is not extreme leftist idea. No need to go full republicunt here. What i meant is not for this video, but in general. using reason to convince people is worth nothing.
1234kalmar No of course that's not what I meant. The extreme leftist idea that's pretty prevalent in internet celebrities is mandating peoples behaviour. No need to name-call over that.
All I said was that I'm glad that the Crash Course guys don't taint their videos with their political opinions. The fact that I can only recall a few videos where the political alignment of any of the guys from Crash Course is a great thing. It allows me to consider them an unbiased source of information - this is a compliment to them.
And using reason is the only way to convince people. Yes some people can't be convinced, but I'd hardly even be an individual if not for some very reasonable arguments from who at the time I thought were just trolls on The Internet.
I do agree with the fact that the video is as unemotional as possible, but morality and humanity and emotions all revolve around themselves, therefore, I don't think emotions are illogical.
Crash Course should to a Crash Course Psychology episode on the cognitive bias/processes responsible for discrimination.
+DaCamponTwee Pretty sure they already did.
scishow probably has one
squigoo It is actually on Crash Course: Psychology.
Well, I can't wait to go into the comments section and see the thoughtful, reasonable and respectful discussion taking place on this important issue.
what about discrimination against African Americans?
+matthew morris Discrimination against African Americans is truly awful, we agree. We addressed some of this in our Equal Protection episode , but we understand it's not just an historical issue. This stuff is happening now. This video is about giving an overview of some of the remedies we've put in place for discrimination. The takeaway from our videos on discrimination is that we still have a long way to go to address these problems. -stan
+Inorganic Vegan Discrimination against anyone based on color of skin and in some cases nationality is still racism. Whether the group being singled out is African-American, Caucasian, Latino, Asian, or Middle-Eastern, it's always racism.
Inorganic Vegan Fair enough.
Fluttering ASMR I'm hoping sarcasm is in there. Racism is racism, regardless of the victim and the discriminator.
Fluttering ASMR I agree, you have a good point. If a Caucasian is racist, it's immediately called out, yet I saw a news article where an African-American woman declared that all Caucasians were racist (a racist statement in itself) and nobody gave a s***.
Nooo Mongol Pizza! I thought you were the exception!
How bout discrimination against Eagles?
Awesome. The Indian Casino example they used is Seven Feathers, literally ten miles away from where I grew up in Oregon. Nice little nostalgia hit right there. It's a nice place. I used to work at their offshoot truck stop across the street.
I absolutely love Craig and this whole channel.
Craig discriminates against eagles. #savetheeagles
I am scared what the comments will look like
+ChuzzyBuddy LOL
My school has seriously failed at the thing about the language. There is a boy in my grade who cannot speak english very well, and instead of using something like google translate, my teachers just constantly get angry at him. He does break obvious rules that he can even understand often, which pisses me off, but the fact that my school is so mean to him also pisses me off
"Temporarily Abled" love it!
Oh boy, I'm more excited for the comments on this one than the actual video.
I wanna see blood tonight.
It's like watching people fight in a coliseum. Haha
^
Why did you reference an old form of fight watching? Why not MMA? Boxing?
RevucumberTechUSA In coliseums, people were brutally murdered by others. I feel like that may also happen here, but you know,
digitally.
^
Fair enough. I accept that explanation!
+LlamaKing9000 Why are you talking about that? You should be praising our veterans instead of talking about some petty fights?
Yep, not looking at the comments. Informative video as usual, and always good to see Crash Course and Craig.
Thanks for the video, Craig and Crash Course.
Speaking of the second amendment can you do video about it
As other have noticed I am somewhat surprised that there was no mentioning of the African Americans population. I am aware that the history of violence committed against them extends far beyond discrimination, but it still seems worth mentioning Jim Crow or something along those lines.
I think you should have done a video on the meaning of 'discrimination' before starting this series, judging by the comments. Some people seem to think that it's a myth, or worse.
How exactly does it not make sense that a person who entered the country illegally is a person who illegally entered the country?
+R3Testa I think it's that they're not an illegal immigrant, but they're an immigrant who immigrated illegally.
It's semantics, but basically the person themselves isn't illegal - their actions were.
Dar Brett
The same logic applies to anything a person might do illegally, so what doesn't "make sense" is to apply the word to the person rather than the action. Forcing everyone to change the short phrase "illegal [actor]" to the tortuous "[actor] who [acted] illegally" is just an attempt to disguise the illegality of the action through changing language, and makes as much sense as requiring that a sentence never end with a preposition.
SAYING it "doesn't make sense" is trying to hide that illegality through ridicule of people using the established convenience of the phrase.
R3Testa Oh yeah, don't get me wrong. I'll still be using the term 'illegal immigrant', because it's what's traditionally been used and everyone knows what it means.
And I'd never dream of agreeing with the idea of forcing people say things a different way - I'll leave that job to the thought police.
Love the 'whoo!' at 7:23 !!
does crash course reply?
+jake brady sometimes. -stan
+CrashCourse what? stan can talk? what?
+CrashCourse Well, as long as I'm here. I'm a huge fan of you guys! Is it bad that I find I learn more from these videos than I did from High School? (from which I graduated in June).
+CrashCourse do a video about Hinduism you didn't till now I saw all your crash course videos
+Shersai Gangasharan Buddha and Ashoka in the World History series covers Hinduism
what kind of animation program they are using ?
"Citizens of your heart." A striking image.
Don't know how hard this it to fix, but there is a typo in the last slide of data on this presentation. The word political is missing a letter.
So, I noticed that the Tennessee State Capital building and the Davidson County Court house are in the video when Craig talks about states trying to stop local municipalities from making laws protecting the LGBT community. As a concerned resident of Nashville Tennessee, could someone fill me in on what happened?
Loving the reference to the Evil Baby Orphanage.
Great table pun, Craig!!😂😂
6:40 The court overruled this? Aren't there still states that do this?
With a crash course on discrimination I would expect them to at least have mentioned the discrimination of african americans since the 14 amendment was created specifically for the group.
+herp22 Check out episode 29, Equal Protection. :) This one is the third in a series of episodes talking about discrimination.
I have to get this out there, you are a demigod. Love all of your shows.
"You can't STAY ON TOPIC!"
Craig Benzine, 2015
I just placed 4th in a speech and debate tournament and we debated"Is the US fed ought to pay reps to african americans". Really fun and deep topic to debate (I do PF)
Great new channel! I really enjoyed your gaming vids!
Does anyone feel like there is some deep anger reserves in that eagle punching bit?
opening is so good
Anyone here who knows where the best place to request a topic from Crash Course is? Will just put it here in case John or someone sees this in the meanwhile: Could you cover the 30 Years War? Thanks :)
Check out crash course world history, I think it's discussed there but I don't totally remember
Hahaha temporarily tabled 😂 very interesting.
Riddle me this: I have Towns But No Houses. Lakes, But No Water. Forests But No Trees. And Mountains But No Rocks.
What Am I?
+The Riddler North Korea?
+The Riddler Map?
...GODDAMMIT, ED!
TAKE YOUR BLOODY RIDDLES AND SHOVE THEM UP ARKHAM!
+The Riddler what is it tell us
+The Riddler A map.
Craig for president 2016.
Who was that as an Easter egg in the smart car?
what about discrimination against discrimination?
does the Americans with disabilities act cover ADHD or AS?
I missed when John Green used to talk about history, and there wasn't a crap load of subjects, although it is helpful
This year the Arkansas legislature passed a law prohibiting anti-discrimination ordinances. This month the biggest city in my region passed an anti-discrimination ordinance. So the ordinance should stand and the legislature shouldn't have done did that?
are you saying they passed legislation saying it's OK to discriminate?
Please do Physical Geography...
i'm a native american! wooooo Cree pride
nice job negotiating that mine field.
How about in the case of being against Gay marriages because of Religious beliefs? Who's right would be more important?
Giving homosexuals the right to be married does not take away religious peoples' right to be bigoted.
At 1:00 Crash Course describes how the 14th Amendment protects citizens from discrimination. As an example of how "that being said" certain ethnic groups have been targets of unfair treatment, the video then cites laws designed to exclude immigrants from particular ethnic groups. I think it should make it clear that such laws didn't violate the 14th Amendment, if that Amendment protected only American citizens, and not foreigners, from discrimination.
The constitution, and it's amendments, are seen as the most basic rights, and apply to anyone within the U.S.
A. E. Cooper But they don't, do they? If I visit America, I can be deported, I can't vote, etc., which an American citizen cannot. Now, in America, I have the right to due process, and to have no discrimination in relation to my race, sexuality, and gender - but I can be 'discriminated against' as a non-citizen, and I can be 'discriminated against' as a citizen of a specific country. For instance, if the US goes to war with the UK, and I'm in the USA, I can be deported, or interned.
I think it was brought up as a point of debate as to whether they should be protected because this is heavily debated and is worth discussing.
wonderful.
How come blacks weren't mentioned in your video regarding discrimination?
I'm just gonna say good video before I watch it. I'm trusting you
I didn't actually know that statistic about disability. It's actually incredibly depressing because I'm disabled and looking for work after graduating. I know that my girlfriend, who is also disabled, has definitely seen this kind of discrimination already but I thought it was a lot smaller scale than that statistic implies.
As I have said...You Are Good. Tell you boss I said, you deserve a big raise. (and I mean BIG!) Please do one on when we can expect WW III ? Thanks.
Good to know
Craig, if you would declare candidacy for President, I would vote for you.
+mama maus Same, that or John Green's brother Hank.
Agreed.
mama maus Craig for president in 2020, with Hank Green as his running mate.
If voting changed anything, they'd abolish it.
Oh no, people who look different than me may be treated like people. "Angry rant about me being persecuted now!!!"
As a disabled person I think society has a long way to come until we are properly included into society I’m from a town in the uk and not a lot of buildings are accessible this is against the equality act but no one seems to care I can’t access a specific night club and banks and other buildings it’s time to make a change people and be more Inclusive of minority groups
Where those buildings built BEFORE that law was enacted?
@Torgo hahahahaha, source? I've gotta see this.
Let's all be different, and that means different beliefs.
I still don't understand how only minorities can be discriminated against
Well discrimination is whenever some sort of system of majory takes advantage of a minority. So it really only effects minorities, maybe it effects a majority, just not as harshly. Kind of how there are black only fraternities denying whites access, but whites have plenty of other majority white fraternities.
*****
When you divide people into too many labels like "gay", "black", "white", "lesbian", "transgender", "disabled", "mentally handicapped", then all these and more become their own minorities. I have lung issues that put me in the ER once a year, does that mean i'm a minority too?
+Austin Mose I'm sorry but that is just definitionally incorrect. Discrimination can be against anyone. It doesn't matter if they are part of a majority or not.
+Mitchell Collier Xir's from Tumblr
+Austin Mose Just as easily however, majorities can become minorities over a period of time. So, technically, the law protects everyone.
You missed a prime joke of "temporarily distabled"
Hey Craig, are you secretly Tom Mulcair?
Everytime you hit the eagle I take a shot of tequila.
in my opinion, the 9th and 10th are the most important amendments
"Temporarily table" - Bald Beard Guy
Time out! As far as the disability employment rate thing goes... Is it possible that part of the reason unemployment rates are higher for disabled people is because, if they are married, the person in the relationship who is not disabled (I'm assuming only one is) is the one who takes the job, out of practicality? Maybe you accounted for that, maybe you didn't, I'm just wondering.
Lovely. Love Craig. But remember, "ethnic people" is misleading. Everyone - literally EVERYONE - has an ethnicity. Too often we members of groups in power centralize ourselves when we think of ourselves as not possessing cultural peculiarities.
3:37 Mongol restaurant and John Green drives by...........I see what you did there
African Americans were, are not discriminated against?
A well regulated Militia being necessary for the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. What people don't understand is that it says Right of the People in contradiction to the Militia and shall not be infringed meaning nicked away in any part.
Calvin Coolidge! 4:34
So I just realized how offensive this video is, because it totally ignores the people that have fought the hardest and longest for cival rights, I can also see how this could be an innocent mistake but this is totally wrong
play at .25 speed it's so worth it
Sounds like he took too many sleeping pills lol
If you don’t come here through a port of entry or via passport, you are illegal by definition.
If only it were possible to make it so that not even people could take freedom away from people.
@NOS482 Music there...everywhere.
I love that you said that noone can be illegal. Very true.
So was this your way of saying you don't want to do an episode on the 2nd amendment?
i haven't watched all 50 videos, but I'm pretty sure it's addressed in one of them
Would Lau vs. Nichols apply to the education of the profoundly and completely blind? Specifically, their ability to read Braille which is effectively or factually the only thing they can read. I think it does. Consequently, there is a lawsuit brewing in regards to this as the blind have significantly lower literacy rates than the sighted.
Well, the team at Crash Course should be experts at this stuff. I bet they were chomping at the bit to drop their political slant on this topic. Surprised it isn't a 9 part subject.
this guy is pretty good.
oh god here we go
The world is so complicated now
"Purchasing"
Most of these comments are about not reading the comments
Supreme Court essential created legislation from the bench in the gay marriage ruling, I believe that it should have been up to the states, as marriage laws have alway been decided by the states. It is called federalism, some laws are made by the federal lv and states keep some of sovereignty as established by the 9th and 10th amendment.
guys make one about microaggressions. please people should be aware of them
Kareem M I don't really think that would be relevant to this series...But maybe a different series
In regards to disabilities we must realize that those with disabilities are often unable to do jobs--and thus aren't hired.
It's the Immigration Reform and Control Act, not Immigration Restriction Act. Just a slight error.
people with disabilities are actually the largest minority group in America
+morgan black I should know, I have partial-autism, which is disability by definition.
